The Government has set a target of 120,000 homes to be retrofitted by next year and a target of 500,000 by 2030. In 2022 and 2023, only 10,300 of these were fully State-funded under the warmer homes schemes. More than twice as many applications were received as were carried out. There is currently a waiting list of two to three years. Given the dire climate emergency we are facing, is it not time for a massive increase in fully State-funded retrofitting?
